How to make a Digital Evaluation board (DEB)

This video goes over how to make your own Digital Evaluation Board (DEB). The professor at Penn State (Oren Gall) that teaches CMPEN 270 has a monopoly over this board and in my option he should be fired. He takes advantage of students every semester by forcing them to use a device from a company that he owns and gets to take all of the profit from.
Here is a list of parts so you can build the board and pass his class.
Parts need to build the DEB:
2x bread boards
A bunch of Male to Male wires
10x blue LED's 5mm
4x green LED's 5mm
4x tactile buttons
4x 10k Ohms Resistors
1x 555 Timer IC
2x 100k Ohms Resistors
1x 4.7 uF Capacitor
5 volt power supply (an Arduino works great for this)
Then throughout the class you will need 2 of each of these chips to build the homework and lab circuits.
